Tommy "Old Reliable" Henrich....1941

Posted By: Ted Zanidakis

Great story, guy.

In the course of your 2 hour conversation with Tommy, did he talk about the "3rd strike" event ?

It appears like Mickey Owen was totally blamed for the"passed ball" incident. Ironically in 1941,
Owen set a new record for the most error-less fielding chances by a catcher with 508 perfect
attempts and finished with a .995 Fielding Avg.
After, his military service in WWII, the Dodgers wouldn't sign him. So, he left the Majors and went
to play professional ball in the Mexican League. Returned to the Majors in the Spring of 1951 with
the Cubs. I'm happy to hear he that lived a long life.

Unfortunately, Hugh Casey did not enjoy a long life. He died in 1951 at age 37. Apparently, des-
pondent over the breakup of his marriage, he shot himself.

Thanks for sharing your story with us.
